Projects Chrome shops in DFW?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Mike Britton, Sep 9, 2012.

  1. I went to search, and all the posts are several years old.
    Last time I had plating done it was Show&Go, but that ship has apparently sunk.
    Anyone know who is doing this locally these days?

    Looking for the same info here. Would like to hear some recommendations..

    I found a wheel repair place in Arlington that does plating, I'm going to take a small part to test them out.

    That makes three of us. I used to use Show & Go, then the place over by the Stock Yards in Fort Worth. They're both belly up now.

    I've used Speed & Sport in Houston (yea, not local). REALLY like their work, but end price was a little higher than I liked.

    How about Gainsville? I keep hearing good things about these folks, but haven't tried them yet.

    About a year ago I had a `60 Impala rear bumper chromed at DC Chrome in Dallas. I think they also are known as Dallas Chrome. They did a real nice job.
    I will post a link if I find their info.

    I think there is a place in Arlington. A guy I went to school with use to work there. I will see if I can find its name.
     
  8. I miss Lawnview Plating.
    When we had the digger in the 60's/70's, they were one of our sponsors.
    Was one of the go to places for chrome.

    Anyone tried the powder coating that looks like chrome? How close is it?

    Al's and ***ociate in Fort Worth
    I personally have not used them but I have friend that runs a lot of stuff from his shop through here. My Dad did plating for 30 years and visited this shop and told me he liked their setup and work. I second the shop near stockyards closed (superior??) the older gentleman that owned/ran p***ed away.

    I think the Fort Worth shop was Advanced Chrome Connection. There is a big plating shop called Superior Chrome but they're out of Houston. They show up at a lot of the swapmeets. Or at least they used too.

    You're correct, I couldn't remember the name. That was a good place to deal with.

    If you are still looking I'd recommend Al's Plating 2829 Bryan Ave. Fort Worth 817-921-2879. They did my grill and bumpers (nerf bars) a couple of years ago and they still look great- I was very satified. I don't know how busy they are now but it did take 4-6 weeks.
     
  19. Thanks, I was kind of still looking, most of my race car friends came up empty.
